Nintendo's best-selling portable had all manner of screen magnifiers, sound boosters, worm lights and protective shells, not to mention half-decent official accessories like the ground-breaking Game Boy Camera. However, few systems can rival the original Game Boy when it comes to crazy bolt-on pieces of plastic junk. Nintendo, as a company that has released several popular hardware platforms, has experienced this groundswell of support on more than one occasion the NES was inundated with games and gear, as was the SNES, Wii and – more recently – the Switch. Whenever a new piece of gaming hardware is successful, it naturally attracts a lot of attention – both in terms of games (because there's a huge market to sell to) and accessories (again, because there's a huge market to sell to). The Nintendo Game Boy turns 30 this Sunday, and to celebrate this amazing occasion we'll be running a series of related features this week, right up to the big day.
